How cold is it by you?

[Hank49]

Not a very interesting view at all from outside my office window. We lost most of our snow right before the cold snap, it warmed up to mid 30's 40's and we had a little rain that melted the 5 or so inches we had on the ground. We were supposed to have gotten another 4-6 inches last Sunday but seems that passed us by. If it is going to be cold I would much rather have snow on the ground, seems to fit better. Grey and cold sucks as a general rule.

Winter in Ohio. I remember it well. Dreaming of springtime….

My heart bleeds for you. Need me to ship you a hat and gloves? Mebbe some ear muffs? God forbid you have to leave your flip flops at home!

I guess I would never have thought to take pictures of "cold". Might be something to give some thought about and try doing for the next cold snap.

Yes, indeed, I hear you, one kind of gets used to your local conditions, but to me its always interesting to see pictures of different weather conditions, especially the extreme conditions it appears some areas are experiencing now.

If you were to remove the text from this post, the result would represent what I would have attempted to capture on film. It isn't as much about the snow (we ended up with about 1'), but the full white-out conditions of blowing and drifting snow that drops your visibility to 10'-15' at best under sustained 30 mph winds, and the absolute bitter biting cold that wind chill charts list a feel like temperature of -30F to -40F......

Today it was sunny, 17F, and calm when I stepped out for lunch. I actually unzipped my jacket and didn't have a hat on. After lunch, the winds had returned, and it was nasty again as i walked across the parking lot to my office.

cold doesn't bother the ibis...

The difference is dramatic I suppose.

These are from Prudhoe Bay.

take away the platform, and change the species to the North American Whitetail (though 5-6 would be a good number rather than 200+), and it could be my back yard here in NY....

Since you seem to like snow pix, these are from 2010. Here in central Ohio we do not get very many heavy snow falls, this was a pretty decent storm though.

Did someone say deer?

"Cold" has many faces...
